3. Categories of personal data, processing purposes and legal bases

a) Categories of personal data

When you visit our website www.krafczyk.de, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address of the requesting device,
• date and time of access and time zone difference,
• name and URL of the retrieved file or the individual web page,
• website from which you visited us (referrer URL),
• the browser used (e.g. type, version, language) and, if applicable, the operating system and interface of your device as well as the name of your access provider,
• HTTP status code and access status and
• amount of data transferred.

b) Processing purposes

We process the above-mentioned data for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
• Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
• Maintaining and restoring the security of the website and evaluating system security and stability,
• Identification of technical faults or errors in electronic communication and
• For further administrative purposes.‍

c) Legal bases

Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Such legitimate interests are, in particular, to enable you to access the website and to achieve the processing purposes stated above.

Furthermore, the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract (in particular the user relationship between you and us when visiting the website) to which the data subject is a party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

4. Categories of recipients

Please note that we may transfer your personal data to third parties for the above-mentioned processing purposes as follows:

• To contract processors: Certain service providers, such as IT support service providers or hosting service providers, will receive your personal data in order to process this data in accordance with appropriate instructions (so-called contract processors), insofar as this is necessary for the processing purposes set out above. Contract processors are subject to obligations to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data and only process personal data as directed.
• To certain third parties: In accordance with applicable law, we may transfer your personal data to third parties, such as public authorities, courts, suppliers or service providers.

5. International data transfers

The personal data that we collect or otherwise process may be transferred to recipients within or outside the European Economic Area (so-called EEA) and processed by these recipients.

• For recipients outside the EEA, some of these recipients are located in countries for which an adequacy decision applies (in particular the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States of America (for participants in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework program), and therefore an adequate level of data protection can generally be assumed.
• Other recipients outside the EEA could be located in countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of European data protection law. We will take necessary measures to ensure that transfers of personal data to countries outside the EEA and the processing there are adequately protected. With regard to data transfers to countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection, we base the transfer — as required by law — on appropriate or appropriate guarantees, such as standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission or a supervisory authority, approved codes of conduct together with legally binding and enforceable obligations on the part of the recipient, or approved certification mechanisms together with legally binding and enforceable obligations on the part of the recipient. You can request a copy of these reasonable guarantees by contacting us (see section 1).
